Ink Shadow

Drowning down with the shallow ones,They have this... darkness... surrounding them;It gnaws away at their own mind.No, it drowns their psyche,Pulling it beneath the silver lined waves;Coating it in inken armor... In a vain effort to protect themselves.

These creatures have no reflection; Resemblant of demons and their ilk,Unable to look within and battle their own demons, Lurking inside...

The dark ink pools to form a mirror...

The demonic creature can never look into it,They're too afraid of their own shadow; And that is what they've become...A shade; A simple hue...

A shadow that follows others around, seeking the light that is within them...Because they look at them, and just think,'Anything is better than the darkness... The cold, cruel eternal night...'Their jealousy is eating them alive.

It plagues their souls, shadowing, as shadows do,Always following those they crave...As an ink shadow, like a leech;A vampire draining the life out of them, Drawing out the darkness, prolonging the agony...

Slowly, slinking around like a predator of the night,They draw new people in;More tortured victims to abuse, As they purr...And whisper comforting things...

The sullen desire to be just like them, as they follow,Trapping them within their ill-prepared snare,Draining their victim is a painful process; A true tragedy!They corner them, until they cannot back away, Can't even breathe...

The victims, each of them feel powerless...But what they fail to realizeIs that the demons feel too; They feel just as powerless.They've lost control, fallen prey to their own whims... Their animalistic desire to dominate;To be better than that which they feel is beneath them.

Twisted creatures, haunted by their own names,And just so tired of being below everyone else; Pressed beneath their boots and ground into the frigid concrete...

It's too late, and their trust has been regained...They lick the blood from their claws,Savoring the metallic taste, scouring it clean,And they turn on the ones who trust them.

They think the world is against them,When they are just as much against the world. Or rather... unjust.

What you see in the inken mirror is a reflection;Phantom limbs haunting funhouse hallways,The demons see in the dark, with their blind eyes,And they can smell the fear on you...

Their fight is not with us, but rather, It is with the mirror;The one covered in the poisoned coals of their own martyred hearts.It's a stark contrast;The shiny pure white, and the wicked. cold. dark.

Now others know what kind of demon they are,You can see it in their eyes, piercing as the grail...Silence settles, dwelling within your soul,Their fake smiles and friendly persona is just a ruse, nothing more.

When people look into those cat-like, vertical slits, Like small slivers of moonlight, They can see the evil and wickedness that lies there.

Always with the lies...

Nevermind the intended recipient...Some of us can see through it, Though they can't see it themselves, If ever they did look into that midnight mirror, The one that lies alone within their deepest place,They would have no reflection at all;

A ghost, wandering among the twilight, Scattered and lost within the ink black stars,Which line the bright, white night sky...The stark contrast;Unsettling...

Well it's been 11 years. Time flies. A lot of you are probably wondering (or maybe not) what happened to me, and why I've been different, aloof, distant, absent, etc. I kind of feel like I owe all of you an explanation to my continued absence and lack of art, aside from the occasional poem. I've had a hell of a year, suffice it to say 2018 has not been kind to me at all... But I am striving to rise from the ashes.

I really don't like posting about my personal life stuff too much anymore, because I always worry people will think I'm attention-seeking (trust me, as someone with severe social anxiety, attention is the last thing I want lol) or whining about first world problems and shit like that aaaand because it'll probably just make my haters happy (who cares about them though). But... I need to get a few things out there to my friends and fans regardless.

Earlier this year, I was put in a really awful situation by trusting the wrong people YET AGAIN. When will I ever learn? Society anxiety along with other mental problems and people do not mix well, apparently. Who knew? Oh that's right, I did, and I let myself be bullied and guilt tripped into it anyway. I'm not going to go into too much detail over it since it would be upsetting for me all over again, but... I still won't let a bad experience with it (or several tbh) stop me from helping people and being kind to others. Not everyone is the same.

So I got baker acted shortly after that whole ordeal... Directly because of it, actually. Nothing like spending some time in ye good olde psych ward. I totally didn't go crazy at all. Ahem... But I am doing better from that now. Anyway, moving on...

Remember my precious beloved kitty cat Blaze, the one who was born in my lap that I told you all about before in a journal because I was so excited and loved her so much? (Some of my older watchers on here will probably remember her.) Well, she passed away last month. It turns out she had the mutated version of FIP and got very sick very suddenly. I rushed her to the vet but there was nothing they could do for her except make her more comfortable and allow her to go painlessly. ._. She had to be put to sleep. It's especially sad because she wasn't even 4 years old yet. I held her the whole time and comforted her as much as I could. When I hugged her, it felt like she was hugging me back. It was very sad. I miss her like crazy, but at least I still have her adorable kittens and I promised her that I would take care of them. And I meant it. ♥ She was a great mom and they are such cute little sweeties. ;w;

I also had two major surgeries very recently... The first one was to get a wisdom tooth removed and my fractured jaw fixed back into place after something that happened many years ago. Apparently it was worse than I thought and had gotten to the point where my jaw was being slowly pried out of place which resulted in a fracture, and I was told if I hadn't gotten the surgery, it would have eventually broken completely. I have some pretty neat X-rays of it actually and it's healing well so far.

And the second was eye surgery to hopefully fix the cause of my rapidly deteriorating vision so I might be able to see normally someday... But not for a while. Right now, I'm really light sensitive and my head is killing me (from this AND the jaw thing, if you were wondering lol) and I cannot see at all until it heals, which they aren't sure how long it will take exactly. For those who didn't know, I've been legally blind for a long time, and although I could still see somewhat, it kept getting worse and worse, in recent years to the point where it wasn't even safe for me to drive anymore or do most of the things I used to.

It was due to a rare hereditary eye defect that I inherited, and for a long time they didn't know what it was. After many years, I finally found a doctor who could identify the cause and I've gotten it taken care of now. Wish me a quick recovery, so maybe hopefully I can get back to drawing if it heals ok. It will take time and later I will still have to wear glasses but eventually if everything goes right, my vision will be somewhat normal and I could actually see normally for probably the first time! I'm a bit excited about it but also nervous since I don't know how it'll turn out.

This is also why I haven't been drawing... Because I can't. It's kind of hard when you can't even see the screen. xD I mean, even before I could see vague outlines of things, but it was mostly just extremely blurred shapes and colors. I've only been able to write by memory of where the keys are on the keyboard (I've been typing since I was like 6 or 7, first on an old typewriter and later on computer keyboards) and using a screen reading program to read back to me what I've written so far and also to read messages from others to me or whatever is on the screen. So even my writing has slowed down a lot due to that. (And general depression from everything else and just not feeling like working on anything lately either.) If I fave any artwork lately, it's because the title or comments or something grabbed my attention and I've been faving stuff so I can go back and look at it later once my sight hopefully comes back.

One thing I am happy about... I have finally been working on my novel! YES, it's the one with Morphie and Kaline, although Kaline's name has been changed to Kalaya because I wanted her to be able to develop into her own unique character. I have new refs to draw if my eyes do heal correctly from the surgery and then I can show you maybe. I haven't quite finished the first chapter yet, but the current wordcount has reached 6,000 and I'm very proud of it. ;w; Wish me luck with the rest! I'll need it. xD

Other than that, I don't have much else to say. I will be scarce for a while due to the time of year and all of these other things that I've mentioned. I wish you all Happy Holidays and a positive more upbeat 2019. ♥ Thanks for sticking around.
